Beeld van de boeddha Avukana bij Kekirawa op Sri Lanka 1914 - 1919

This 1914-1919 etching by Dutch artist Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp depicts the Avukana Buddha statue in Sri Lanka. The image captures the immense scale of the statue, with the Buddha's figure filling almost the entire frame. The use of dark tones and heavy lines contributes to a somber and reverent atmosphere. Nieuwenkamp, known for his travel sketches and illustrations, created this piece as part of his documentation of Asian cultures.
